Old Guns - Computer inaccessible bug

[a pregnant woman]

Im doing the old guns quest and i have found and killed the robot 'Sarge' but the computer to open the door is broken. What do i do. Is there any way to skip on to the next part of the quest. NO SKIP QUEST. SKIP PART OF QUEST.

[Frostbringer]

Ronnie should open the door for you, and the large door on the surface is opened by a button. I don't think the computer had anything to do with the door, but gave background on the body you find.

Just talk to Ronnie, should walk over and key in the password opening the door.

What if Ronnie is dead or missing?

Then fix your modded game. She doesn't just go missing and is essential so she cannot be killed as a quest giver, not in a vanilla game.

Since you don't say at what point you're discovering she's 'dead or missing', it's important to tell us that. What stage of the OLD GUNS quest are you at? If you can use the console to check, open it and type

sqt

that's a list of your currently open quests.

Min03 is the quest you'll want to see on that list somewhere. If it is not on that list, you haven't started it yet.

If you do see Min03 on it, type in the console

getstage Min03

Check this page for what stages are available

You can try nudging the stages but I would strongly recommend against it in this case.

If you've somehow managed to KILL Ronnie Shaw, your mods are the reason she's dead. Don't kill her. Revert to an earlier save if you've actually done so, that's the only way she'll work. Resurrecting quest givers is not easy as it sounds, because they have scripting that sometimes goes wrong if you res them.

you have to w8 till she comes with you, I made the same mistake

If anyone comes across this, make sure you kill sarge. If you hack him and shut him down it will prevent the quest from progressing. Simply self destructing or just killing sarge should Initiate further dialogue and progress the quest

I was on this page when I figured out where I went wrong.

I'd just hacked sarge in hopes of keeping the robot alive. Didn't realise he had to be killed for Ronnie to continue on to the terminal.

Sorry to necro this thread, but In case it helps someone else, Ronnie wouldn't use the terminal for me so I used the following console command: (if you're not familiar with the console, I'd recommend saving too)

setstage Min03 540

If you do this, you may need to clip through the door to progress the quest (

while no one or thing is selected)
Okidoke, it's back to the wasteland for me. Hope it helps. Good luck :)
